دفتر پنجم - بخش ۱۳۷ - باز جواب گفتن آن کافر جبری آن سنی را کی باسلامش دعوت می‌کرد و به ترک اعتقاد جبرش دعوت می‌کرد و دراز شدن مناظره از طرفین کی مادهٔ اشکال و جواب را نبرد الا عشق حقیقی کی او را پروای آن نماند و ذلک فضل الله یتیه من یشاء / Book Five - Section 137 - The deterministic infidel again answering the Sunni who was inviting him to Islam and to abandon his belief in determinism; and the elongation of the debate from both sides, because nothing can eliminate the source of objection and an

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

کافر جبری جواب آغاز کردکه از آن حیران شد آن منطیق مرد
The deterministic infidel began his reply,
At which that logical man was bewildered.
لیک گر من آن جوابات و سؤالجمله را گویم بمانم زین مقال
But if I should recount all those answers and questions,
I would be held back from this discourse.
زان مهم تر گفتنیها هستمانکه بدان فهم تو به یابد نشان
There are more important things for us to say,
Through which your understanding may find its mark.
اندکی گفتیم زان بحث ای عتلز اندکی پیدا بود قانون کل
We have spoken a little of that debate, O ignoramus;
From a little, the universal law is revealed.
هم چنین بحثست تا حشر بشردر میان جبری و اهل قدر
Such is the debate, until the resurrection of mankind,
Between the determinist and the partisan of free will.
گر فرو ماندی ز دفع خصم خویشمذهب ایشان بر افتادی ز پیش
If they had failed to repel their opponent,
Their sect would have collapsed long ago.
چون برون شوشان نبودی در جوابپس رمیدندی از آن راه تباب
Since they would have had no way out in their reply,
They would have fled from that destructive path.
چونک مقضی بد دوام آن روشمی دهدشان از دلایل پرورش
But since the continuation of that way was decreed,
He nurtures them with arguments,
تا نگردد ملزم از اشکال خصمتا بود محجوب از اقبال خصم
Lest they be bound by the opponent's objection,
And remain veiled from the opponent's success.
تا که این هفتاد و دو ملت مدامدر جهان ماند الی یوم القیام
So that these seventy-two sects may continually
Remain in the world until the Day of Resurrection.
چون جهان ظلمتست و غیب ایناز برای سایه می باید زمین
Since the world is darkness and this is the unseen,
The ground is necessary for the shadow.
تا قیامت ماند این هفتاد و دوکم نیاید مبتدع را گفت و گو
Until the Resurrection, these seventy-two will remain;
The innovator will never lack words and arguments.
عزت مخزن بود اندر بهاکه برو بسیار باشد قفلها
The value of a treasury lies in its worth,
On which there are many locks.
عزت مقصد بود ای ممتحنپیچ پیچ راه و عقبه و راه زن
The glory of the destination, O tester,
Lies in the winding road, the steep passes, and the bandit.
عزت کعبه بود و آن نادیهره زنی اعراب و طول بادیه
The glory of the Kaaba and that valley
Lies in the highway robbery of the Bedouins and the length of the desert.
هر روش هر ره که آن محمود نیستعقبه ای و مانعی و ره زنیست
Every path and way that is not praised
Is a steep pass, an obstacle, and a bandit.
این روش خصم و حقود آن شدهتا مقلد در دو ره حیران شده
This path of the opponent and his resentment has become such,
That the mere imitator is bewildered between the two paths.
صدق هر دو ضد ببیند در روشهر فریقی در ره خود خوش منش
He sees the truth of both opposites in their course;
Each faction is content in its own way.
گر جوابش نیست می بندد ستیزبر همان دم تا به روز رستخیز
If he has no answer, he persists in contention,
At that very moment, until the Day of Resurrection,
که مهان ما بدانند این جوابگرچه از ما شد نهان وجه صواب
Saying, 'Our leaders know this answer,
Even if the right way has been hidden from us.'
پوزبند وسوسه عشقست و بسورنه کی وسواس را بستست کس
The muzzle of temptation and doubt is Love, and nothing else;
Otherwise, when has anyone ever bound doubt?
عاشقی شو شاهد خوبی بجوصید مرغابی همی کن جو بجو
Become a lover, seek the beautiful beloved,
Go hunting the wild duck, stream by stream!
کی بری زان آب کان آبت بردکی کنی زان فهم فهمت را خورد
How can you benefit from that water when that water sweeps you away?
How can you grasp with that understanding which devours your understanding?
غیر این معقولها معقولهایابی اندر عشق با فر و بها
Other than these rational concepts, there are intellects
That you will find in love, with glory and splendor.
غیر این عقل تو حق را عقلهاستکه بدان تدبیر اسباب سماست
Other than this intellect of yours, God has intellects,
By which He ordains the causes of the heavens.
که بدین عقل آوری ارزاق رازان دگر مفرش کنی اطباق را
With this intellect you acquire provisions,
While with that other, you spread out the celestial spheres.
چون ببازی عقل در عشق صمدعشر امثالت دهد یا هفت صد
When you lose your intellect in the love of the Eternal,
He will give you tenfold or seven hundredfold.
آن زنان چون عقلها درباختندبر رواق عشق یوسف تاختند
When those women lost their minds,
They rushed into the palace of Joseph's love.
عقلشان یک دم ستد ساقی عمرسیر گشتند از خرد باقی عمر
The cupbearer of life took away their intellect for a single moment,
And they were sated with reason for the rest of their lives.
اصل صد یوسف جمال ذوالجلالای کم از زن شو فدای آن جمال
The origin of a hundred Josephs is the beauty of the Majesty;
O you who are less than a woman, sacrifice yourself for that beauty!
عشق برد بحث را ای جان و بسکو ز گفت و گو شود فریاد رس
Love swept away the debate, O dear soul, and that is all;
For it comes to the rescue from words and talk.
حیرتی آید ز عشق آن نطق رازهره نبود که کند او ماجرا
From love, a bewilderment comes over speech;
It has not the courage to carry on the dispute,
که بترسد گر جوابی وا دهدگوهری از لنج او بیرون فتد
For it fears that if it returns an answer,
A pearl may fall out of its mouth.
لب ببندد سخت او از خیر و شرتا نباید کز دهان افتد گهر
It seals its lips tightly against good and evil,
Lest the pearl should fall from the mouth.
هم چنانک گفت آن یار رسولچون نبی بر خواندی بر ما فصول
Just as that companion of the Prophet said,
When the Prophet read the chapters to us:
آن رسول مجتبی وقت نثارخواستی از ما حضور و صد وقار
That Chosen Messenger, at the time of scattering bounty,
Required of us presence and absolute dignity.
آنچنان که بر سرت مرغی بودکز فواتش جان تو لرزان شود
Just as if a bird were sitting on your head,
At whose loss your soul would tremble,
پس نیاری هیچ جنبیدن ز جاتا نگیرد مرغ خوب تو هوا
So you dare not move from your place at all,
Lest your beautiful bird take flight;
دم نیاری زد ببندی سرفه راتا نباید که بپرد آن هما
You dare not draw a breath, you suppress a cough,
Lest that Huma bird fly away.
ور کست شیرین بگوید یا ترشبر لب انگشتی نهی یعنی خمش
And if someone speaks to you, sweet or sour,
You place a finger on your lip, meaning 'Be silent!'
حیرت آن مرغست خاموشت کندبر نهد سردیگ و پر جوشت کند
That bewilderment is that bird; it makes you silent.
It puts a lid on the boiling pot and makes you boil with fervor.
